S/T debut album available now from
the mailorder

John The Conqueror’s self-titled debut album is an amalgamation of the many
sounds and styles (old and new) mined from both the North and the South. Cousins
Pierre Moore (vocals & guitar) and Michael Gardner (drums) are natives of
Jackson, MS, while bassist Ryan Lynn hails from Philly – where the trio now call
home. Together they mix a bedrock of raw deep blues with funk, soul, punk and
scuzzed-up rock-n-roll into one helluva potent musical Molotov cocktail. Moore
and Gardner have been playing together in bands since their college days in
Oxford, MS, and Moore learned to play guitar in his early teens from a homeless
man called John Doe who slept in the back room of an auto repair shop.

“The trio from Mississippi, now based in Philly, have the smoothness of
classic 50’s soul mixed with a southern twang.” – Knuckle Rumbler

“It’s all smokestacks, greasy ball bearings, mudslides, and corn liquor
swilled from mason jars; raggedly scorching guitar riffs, a thunderous rhythm
section, and howled vocals. ‘Say What You Want’ rockets me off my rear every
time.” – Brian Greene / Happening Magazine

“Leader Pierre Moore has a matter-of-fact singing voice, tasteful six-string
skills and a tuneful writing style that balances licks and melody and avoids
classic rock overload.”
– Michael Toland / The Big Takeover.

“They will bring you from the church to the juke joint in four quick
minutes.” – Mad Chicago

“John The Conqueror’s new LP is downright street smart funky.”
– Jeffrey
Morgan’s Media Blackout.

“Pierre Moore is a charismatic frontman, strutting the stage, ripping away at
guitar licks and belting out dynamic vocals. Joining Moore are his cousin
Michael Gardner, a force of nature on drums, and local guy Ryan Lynn, who brings
a rumbling low end to the mix.” – The Key
